Re: fuel problem

[jtrealty@xxxx]

If the pump is running (you actually hear it) and it isn't moving fuel 
then look for a kinked, collapsed, soft fuel pick-up hose or missing 
baffles in the tank and the pump is sucking air. It is very easy when 
installing the pump to turn it even a little and with a soft pick-up 
hose it will kink or collapse under the suction. You could 
temporaraly substitute a short length of hose on the suction of the 
pump and immerse the other end in the tank to see if you can get it to 
pump. If the hose is causing the problem before replacing it you could 
try putting a spring inside it. The new hoses are much stiffer and 
resist kinking and collapsing better than the old ones although they 
are EXPENSIVE. Be careful working around the fuel tank. Take all 
sensible precautions as pointed out in previous posts.
